That is a good one!

^^ That recording is pretty amazing, especially considering the vintage and equipment.

I've been partial to these two audience recordings lately.  The fact that they both use the same mics didn't go unnoticed.

(2) The MMJ show is the single greatest audience recording I've heard.

There is some MMJ AUD done with Schoeps tubes that I think I could quality. I think it's one of taylorc's but I could be wrong....

My favorite tapes fall into three categories:

1) onstage with instumental bands
2) smaller outdoor venues with attentive FOH engineers
3) way FOB at huge open air festivals

I agree with all of this.

& quite pleased to have had the recording opportunity of #2 last night and #1 last weekend.

I'll add another-
4) rooms designed specificaly for great sounding acoustics, which also often tend to have attentive audiences.

I'm just here to see if any of mine make the cut

One of the finest recordings of all time is 2/22/72 Bonnie Raitt from sigma sound in philly.  Its a live recording in studio with studio audience.  Im not even a bonnie raitt fan in the least until I heard this.

Particularly agree with this.  The big open sound is something I absolutely love.

SBIX was a good example of this.

There was a MMW Bonnaroo ADK TL M/S Source I fell in love with quite a few years ago...  Fantastic...

Onstage, I can understand, but it's still surprising to see anything from the Crystal Ballroom on this thread, as it's such a bad sounding room.

My first ever Wilco recording came out excellent:

There's also a Dreden Dolls recording I made that they even had up on their official web site for a while:

Another excellent recording (and concert) is this:

However, I guess a SBD is cheating

One listen to this show and you will understand why.....
